<LONG:
We will ask Steve to identify himself and tell us his position.
MULL:
My name is Steve Mull and I am an Auxiliary Operatdr B.
LONG:
Steve, were you on shif t the morning of the event?
MULL:
Yes, I was uorking out at the industrial waste treatment.
LONG:
Could you start v*.th about an hour or so before the turbine trip and describe what you were doing and what you did as a result of the trip?
MULL:
Yes, the normal functions are dumping bags of chemicals and things like that into different tanks mainly.
About the time' when the relief lifted, I was taking readings out there and I remember that I could hear it.
It was very loud.
I walked out front and I came back in and finished up with the readings. Dale Lauder-(
milch had paged me and told me to come in; they needed some help.
I went to Gate 7, which is adjacent to the turbine building, and I couldn't get in there because I didn't have a badge; so the security guard drove me up to the processing center and I went through Unit 1 into the building, up to the Control Room and waited for assignment there.
I guess the first thing they had =e do was go out and check to see if the turbine was still turning.
I went out there, found that it was and came back in.
About fifteen minutes later they wanted me to go out and wait until it stopped, to put it on a turning gear if it didn't go on automatically.
It did go on automatically.
After that I went back in.
There were so many odd jobs; Bill ZEWE, at one time, instructed me to go out and shut the second stage reheat l
valves on the moisture separator reheaters.
I went out and did those
)
and some other thing; I can't remember what I did.
I am trying to remember.
I think I went with Terry and Don Miller somewhe're but it was just to check something and then I came back.
It was in the Auxiliary Building; I came out because they could handle it themselves and I went back upstairs.
I think that was about it.

LONG:
Did you notice anything unusual where you were? You indicated hearing the noise.
Anything else during the time that you were moving around?
MitLL:
You mean through the paint or in the industrial waste?

d LOiG:
Af ter the eve'nt, when you started to move towards the Control Room.
Did you hear any sounds or notice anything unusual because some of those things may fit in somewhere and help clarify the picture?
MULL:
Not really, because like I said, I went right through the building and that small hallway where you come through.
I don't know; I can't remember anything that would be abnormal.
LONG:
Have you been in the plant when there has been a turbine and reactor trip before?
MULL:
Yes.
I know what else I did.
re have pressure indication on the discharge valves of the polisher beds. Bubba Smith told me to go down and decrease pressure. While I was down there, I noticed that the suction on the C booster pump was leaking pretty bad.
Terry Daugherty and some of the other guys were running around the area right then and they said that they had told thce.
[ Assure them means Control P.oom operators...By Editor]
LONG:
Where were you when the site emergency was declared? What did you do under those circumstances?
.(_
wULL:
What time was that?
LONG:
Around 7:00.
MULL:
I was in the Control Room.
LONG:
Leaving the Control Room for a short time and going back?
MULL:
Yes.
Because I felt that it was the best place to be if they needed to check something quickly.
LONG:
When did you become aware tht.t this was something more than the routine turbine reactor trip? Have you been through other turbine reactor trips when things go smoothly?
MULL:
When Dale Laudermilch called and let me know that there was a problem in there that they coul'd use some help.
I guess the reliefs left about 4 and about 25 after maybe 4:30 it was when I had started to come in.
I had gotten in at quarter of (five) or somewher9 rround then.
LONG:
How long did you stay on shift that night? Did you stay working?
MULL:
Yes.
I think it was 1:00.
1:00 or 1:30.
The other guys were writing denn all their ti=e.

MULL:
Yes.
LONG:
Did you reme=ber anything at all that was unusu&l?
MULL:
By then all the other shif ts had come in and things that had to be done were more or less designated to them. They were giving us a break.
LONG:
Did you work last night.
Obviously you worked that night.
MULL:
We worked until 9:30 yesterday.
LONG:
Don, do you have any other questions?
REPPERT:
No.
LONG:
You were getting most of your directions from the CRO.
Anybody in particular?
MULL:
I would say Craig Faust was telling me most of the things to do.
LONG:
And you don't have anybody that you would have been communicating with?
(
You don' t have a cenaunication link with somebody else?
MULL:
"Jhat do you mean?
LONG:
Anybody working for you?
MULL:
No.
LONG:
Well, Okay that's all we need.
